Hollywood star and Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Angelina Jolie came to Ukraine Kun.uz.

April 30, the actress was noticed in one of the cafes in Lviv.

After the cafe, Jolie went to the Lviv railway station to talk with refugees and volunteers. The Goodwill Ambassador also met the passengers of the evacuation train from Pokrovsk.

Earlier, Angelina Jolie visited Ukrainian refugee children in a Roman hospital. There she talked to a Ukrainian boy who was struggling with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Angelina Jolie became a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2001. For this work, in 2005, she received the United Nations Humanitarian Award.

After the start of the war, the actress said that she would help Ukrainians who were forced to leave their homes.

American actor and director Sean Penn also was in Kyiv, to make a documentary about the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian presidential administration announced on February 24. Previously, Penn visited Ukraine and met with military personnel in November 2021.

He said: “This is already a cruel mistake of taking lives and breaking hearts, I believe that Putin made the most terrible mistake for all mankind. President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people have become historical symbols of courage and integrity. Ukraine is the spearhead of democratic dreams. If we let them fight alone, our soul of America will be lost."

“The director came to Kyiv specifically to film all the events taking place in Ukraine, and as a documentary filmmaker to tell the world the truth about Russia’s invasion of our country,” the Ukrainian-language post on the Facebook page of the president’s office reads.

It was previously reported that Penn was visiting government officials in the city. The president's office released its own statement praising his efforts and thanking him for traveling to Ukraine "to tell the world the truth about Russia's invasion of our country."

Penn has been working since late last year on his documentary, which is being produced by Vice Studios in association with Vice World News and Endeavor Content.

After his trip, Sean Penn appealed to the world's billionaires with a call to purchase 12 fighter jets for Ukraine, which are superior in technical characteristics to Russian military aviation.

Penn is asking billionaires to spend $300 million to buy two squadrons of F-15 or F-16 fighters for Ukraine, which would have a qualitative advantage over Russian Su and MiG fighters.

“This will put an end to the war in Ukraine,” the actor said.

A native of Kyiv, Hollywood actress Milla Jovovich considers himself both Russian and Ukrainian. At the end of January, she published a Facebook post in support of “Ukrainian brothers and sisters,” and a month later, by her own admission, she was crying while reading about the events on the Maidan. This did not prevent the star from taking action: the actress immediately urged the public to pay attention to the events in Kyiv and donate money to the victims. Milla ended the message with the words: “Slava Ukraine!!! Geroyam glory!!!".

Two-time Oscar winner George Clooney recorded a video message to the Ukrainians, which appeared on the website of the Udar party. As Clooney later explained, he "has known the Klitschko brothers since the filming of movies about Ocean's friends." In January, at a press conference dedicated to the film Treasure Hunters, the actor and director came in a T-shirt with Yulia Tymoshenko, and during the Berlin Film Festival he considered it his duty to once again speak out in support of Euromaidan.

Another friend of the Klitschko brothers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, an actor and athlete, in January addressed the Ukrainian people with an inspiring parting word, and after the flight of Viktor Yanukovych, he did not fail to congratulate the protesters on their victory.

A few days ago, a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared on Russian-language sites in a T-shirt with the silhouette of Crimea and the iconic phrase "I'll be back." To the dismay of pro-Russian activists in Yalta, who had already added the ex-governor of California to the list of enemies of Crimea, the news turned out to be fake.

Unlike a bodybuilder, a boxer Mike Tyson turned out to be less diplomatic, but it is difficult to deny him brevity and capacity of statements. During the presentation of a film about his life at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, the heavyweight loudly told Russian reporters: “Get out of Ukraine!”, And after that he left the red carpet.

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, known for his role as Sherlock Holmes in the TV series of the same name, while receiving an award at the 37th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival, he proudly raised the Ukrainian flag, which he received as a gift from his fan on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, reports ThePage.

“I cannot remain silent today, at this very magical moment of my life, without acknowledging the obviousness of what is happening in Ukraine. I can't help but show support for the people of Ukraine, as well as the people of Russia, who stand against kleptocracy and idiocy," Cumberbatch said in his speech.

Famous English ex-footballer David Beckham, who has been supporting Ukrainians since the first day of the war, provided his Instagram page with 71,4 million subscribers for one day to a Ukrainian doctor in order to show through it how the perinatal center in Kharkov, which is still shelled by Russia, works.

Businessman and inventor Ilon Mask from the first days of the war supported Ukraine. The American gave the Ukrainian government access to his Starlink satellite Internet system, which caused outrage in the Russian Federation. Subsequently, on Twitter, he called Putin for a duel - fight for Ukraine.

World famous pop diva Madonna in his public pages he constantly publishes photos of the bombing and destruction in Ukraine. The singer called on the whole world to help the Ukrainian people and stop Putin's tyranny.

Actress and singer Barbra Streisand declared that Putin's "denazification" propaganda is the greatest lie of the century.

“My paternal grandparents emigrated from Ukraine and my heart goes out to the brave people fighting the Russian invasion. Putin's 'denazification' propaganda is perhaps the biggest lie of the century," Barbra wrote.

American actor Leonardo DiCaprio on his Instagram, he posts photos of Ukrainian refugees from the war and called for helping people affected by the war unleashed by Russia.

“The victims of the war in Ukraine have lost everything: from their loved ones to the basic means of survival,” DiCaprio wrote and distributed the contacts of organizations where funds can be transferred to help.

A number of media reported that DiCaprio donated a record 10 million dollars to Ukraine, which is the birthplace of his grandmother. She was born in Odessa under the name Elena Stepanovna Smirnova, and in 1917 she emigrated to Germany with her parents. Subsequently, this amount turned out to be less, but his donations were transferred to humanitarian groups - CARE, IRC, UNHCR and Save the Children - and have already been sent to Ukraine.

American singer Cher, constantly expressing its support for Ukraine and condemning the war unleashed by Russia, in the end also decided, like Cumberbatch, to settle Ukrainian refugees.

“Putin is a little man who is afraid of every sound. His method of maintaining power is the fear of destruction. Putin has “the only weapon”... (the star used an emoji - a hammer), and every person/country that he cannot conquer becomes a “nail,” the performer noted. — Putin’s popularity in Russia is high, his propaganda machine is insane. Many of us are beginning to see the scenario of Hitler in Poland in 1939,” Cher wrote.

Stephen King refused to cooperate with Russian publishing houses. On his Twitter, often - every second post - there is support for Ukraine and disdain for the aggressor Putin. In the last message, the writer emphasized that in order to stop Russia, it is necessary to destroy the wall of disinformation. He even created a special hashtag on social networks #PutinLie to destroy the misinformation spread by Russia.

Soloist of the legendary rock band U2 wrote a poem about Zelensky and remembered Putin in it, calling him a psycho.

“They are fighting for freedom from this psycho of the human race. Mournful Ireland is now Ukraine. And the name of St. Patrick is now Zelensky, ”she quoted the words Bono US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi on St. Patrick's Day.

American singer Lady Gaga wrote that she was praying for Ukraine. She also hopes that the war will end immediately.
American actor Michael Douglas came to the award with a blue and yellow scarf. He also noted that he was proud of the fortitude of the Ukrainians.

Famous British rock band Deep Purple also supported Ukraine. The musicians condemned Putin and his military for committing atrocities in Ukraine.

Also, Deep Purple, the favorite band of Dmitry Medvedev, head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, decided to return his autograph received by the musicians in 2011. Then Medvedev, being president, invited Deep Purple, who performed in Moscow, to dinner at his residence in Gorki.

“I just wrote to Dmitry Medvedev, the former president and now head of the Russian Security Council, returning an autograph he gave me at a dinner for Deep Purple at the Gorky Palace in March 2011, in protest of his various posts alleging an invasion.” , - said the band's keyboardist Don Airey.

Film director David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Dune, Mulholland Drive) also addressed Putin on his YouTube channel.

Lynch reminded the head of the Kremlin that there is a law of nature, hard and fast, from which it is impossible to escape. Right now, Mr. Putin, you are sowing death and destruction. And you are the one to blame. The Ukrainians did not attack your country. You are attacking her now. And all this death and destruction will come back to you. My advice to you: save yourself. Save the Ukrainians, save the world. Make peace with your neighbors,” Lynch said.

Group Pink Floyd banned listening to her music in Russia and Belarus. The musicians announced on their Twitter account that they support Ukraine and condemn the hostile Russian invasion.

“In order to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine together with the world, Pink Floyd compositions from 1987 and all solo recordings by David Gilmour are removed from all music platforms in Russia and Belarus from today,” the band said in a statement.

“The world must support Ukraine. We must not leave in the lurch a country that voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for peace and is now on the verge of being invaded by the same country that persuaded it to do so,” said Richard Branson.
